after my post yesterday about one of the three pigs not eating i went up there this morning and they were all eating fine only problem i have now is the bit of land they are on is now like the somme and both wellies got stuck and i fell flat on my face while they seem to be loving rolling around in i certainly did not but as long as they are happy and eating, its wont happen again as i later made a pathway so i can feed and water them without going into the area on bad weather day just cant wait for some nice weather so i can fence the rest of it for them and get some chickens in another area i have plans for

Glad it seems to be working out for you so far Gavin

Good news, make sure your pigs have an area too where they can get out of the mud, we make a big straw lake outside their front door usually and this helps them loads.

hi thanks for the reply i have put a full bale down in front of the place they sleep so they have a place to lie but i have just looked on the cctv cameras i installed and they are all lying away from there IN THE MUD

that is what pigs do.....love mud.  Cools the body and the mind.

  Hi Jellybean, The pigs are not loving the mud here in the UK, they like us are bloomin' sick of it

Fair enough, if it was  and they were hot they'd love it but in the  and cold it's not as much fun (has longer term health implications like arthritus for breeding pigs too ) Got to remember Jellybean our average daily temperature is probably around 4 degrees Brrrrrrrrr
